血管加压素样受体
中文名称
通路描述
血管加压素是九肽（非肽）激素，包括抗利尿激素（ADH）和催产素。它们在下丘脑合成，储存在后叶垂体中释放入血。血管加压素在调节体内水分保留方面起重要作用，催产素在分娩子宫收缩中起重要作用。血管加压素通过血管加压素受体和催产素受体发挥作用。这些受体与G蛋白相连，G蛋白作为第二信使将信号传递到细胞内。
英文描述
Vasopressin-like receptors The vasopressins are peptide hormones consisting of nine amino acids (nonapeptides). They include arginine vasopressin (AVP; anti-diuretic hormone, ADH) and oxytocin. They are synthesized in the hypothalamus from a precursor and released from stores in the posterior pituitary into the blood stream. One of the most important roles of vasopressins is the regulation of water retention in the body. Oxytocin is important in uterine contraction during birth. The vasopressins act via AVP and oxytocin receptors. These are connected to G proteins which act as second messengers and convey the signal inside the cell.
